I guess raising the profile of our kid within the peers and with the coaches is really essential for sports DSA. <br />I am looking into signing up for ActiveSg as location is nearby and less stress on my wallet . Active SG also form teams to take part in leagues ?<br /><br />I am also looking at signing her up in private academy if their coach is also teaching at the schools we are aiming for . We are looking at RGS, Cedar, SCGS but I can’t find any info if these school bball coaches teach in private academy .<br />I know Nanyang bball coach will be Academy 13 but unfortunately Nanyang is too far for us . <br /><br />I hope it is not too late for my girl to join in these academies outside school. And you are right about bball taking up a lot of time commitment in Sec school on top of the school workload . Need to really make my girl know what she is in for ..<p></p>]]></description><link>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2125915</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2125915</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[xyun08]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 29 Dec 2023 20:58:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to DSA 2023 on Fri, 29 Dec 2023 20:26:32 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p></p><blockquote><b>ashay\" post_id=\"2124513\" time=\"1702006599\" user_id=\"144558:</b><blockquote style="border:1px solid black"><br />my daughter applied for DSA for both basketball and netball. if u would like more info u can PM me.</blockquote></blockquote><br />Have pmed you .
